    Midnight Madness kicked off all across the nation, College Hoops are back!:rock:

    Once LSU and Bama square off on Nov 5, the season is over to me, that's the best possible matchup of the year, and coincides with Basketball games actually starting.

    Anyone else ready for the real sport to be in full swing?!

    It's the sport where literally any team has a chance to win it! Rather than guessing which of 10 select programs will win year in and year out.

    Northerners have your football, southerners have REAL football.....KY has Basketball. I can live with that. :tu:

    I meant any team has a chance to win big. Look at the Final 4 or Elite 8 members year in and year out vs the BCS teams. Always a surprise candidate for the most part, which is why the NCAA Tourney is the greatest sporting event in the world!


    Just looking to ruffle a few of you meathead football fan's feathers, seems to be working! :tu:

    I do enjoy watching the NCAA basketball tourney and like to fill out a bracket sheet...but I don't watch any regular season games.

    Ha, now you're catching on!:fro:

    I am living 260 miles from my nearest tree stand now, Stirring up drama in the water cooler is about as close as I can get to bowhunting for the time being!

    Maryland will have a tough go in the same conference as UNC and Duke this year, but that's probably the story most years.

    Word!

    Duck Fuke

    I like college basketball. Hell I like every sport invented. You need to multi task bro. Football irrelevant? Come on man! (that's a saying used by NFL analyst on ESPN :tu:)

    LOL Most definitely but with a new coach.... we used to always play those two teams really tough but I don't know what to expect this year. Part of what will make it interesting.
